<p>I know that Calculus and Physics come easily to me, but Chemistry is a different story. I have the worst General Chem Professors out of three and the way she runs the class sucks. There is too much homework, which doesn't apply to the tests a whole lot. Plus I don't like it in general; the labs are tedious and the material is just frustrating.</p>
<p>I'm wondering how the engineering classes compare to Chem. Are they tougher? Is more work involved? Is it easier to learn the concepts? I don't know what engineering will be like if Chemistry is this tough for me. I'm almost struggling to get a C in the class.</p>
<p>Did you do well and enjoy your physics and calculus classes?</p>
<p>If so, almost all engineering disciplines are mostly physics and math. You would have to take at least a year of chemistry at the college level for most engineering majors, but that's pretty much it.</p>
<p>Your experience is most likely affected by your poor teacher. Perhaps try retaking the chemistry course during the summer at your high school or local community college.</p>
<p>Yeah, I always had As in physics in high school. I took AP Calc AB and earned a B 1st sem. and an A 2nd sem. I ended up getting a 5 on the AP exam. In my physics and calculus classes, I ranked 1st in them. I pretty much aced physics exams/quizzes, getting the highest scores.</p>
<p>These are also classes I enjoy very much. I like figuring out how equations work in Calculus and I enjoy learning about the theory of forces and circuits in physics. I guess I like learning about how things work. One thing I realized in high school was that I would rather be doing calculations than writing papers. I find most social science and literature classes to be dull, and my mind just doesn't think in that way. Subjects like history always baffled me because I'm not the type of person that memorizes things easily.</p>
<p>Physics and calculus are subjects that I never get tired of, even when things get tough; just can't say the same thing for other classes.</p>
